If someone can look over my #JWM config and #Compton config, I would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to set it up so that my web browsers and #Geany are always opaque while everything else has some level of transparency. Currently whatever is active is opaque and what is inactive has transparency. Here is the codeburg link to my files: https://codeberg.org/jlwthejobber/Config-Files.git

Thanks in advance.

I'm starting to see whether I stay with #xfce or migrate to #kde as part of my overall refresh of #debian from #bookworm to #trixie

I've been a #xfce user for over a decade, which has served me well. It just works, is super stable, is super fast, and gets out of the way so I can get on and do stuff with my computer.

But I am starting to see a trend that #qt based environments are growing in popularity as software is continually improving. This may be just some pushback on #gtk from certain areas, but the 'noise' is starting to get louder.

For now, I'm working through in a #kvm #vm all my settings and workflow to see how well or otherwise a migration might go.

There will still be some #gtk apps I use irrespective. Some like #geany I'll continue with but will also try and work in #kate and see if I can achieve the same level of useability. I mostly just code in #bash so I won't be stressing it in any way.

#GearLever para integrar las #AppImage al #Menu

Todavia no he encontrado ninguna forma de reemplazar Gear Lever, una mini app en formato #Flatpak (que odio), que me ayude para añadir con un simple click las AppImage en el menu de Ubuntu Linux

(Esto es 100% homologable a todas las distros, especialmente las derivadas de Ubuntu, ya he probado muchos de estas herramientas, procesos o trucos en #LMDE o #Linux #Mint #Debian)

Una alternativa a Gear Lever seria usar una sola vez esta app y despues desintalarla... despues seria cuestion de usar #Geany (o cualquier otro editor) para crear/replicar los archivos .desktop en la carpeta .local/share/applications/

Como dije antes, yo voy colocando las AppImages en /home/AppImage, asi que en Gear Lever configure esa carpeta por defecto, y le indique que siempre mueva ahi los archivos appimage y los iconos deben quedar en la carpeta .icons dentro de ella

Para no tener problemas de permisos, hice un
$ sudo chmod 775 /home/AppImage

y asi darle acceso a todos los usuarios del laptop.

#Pregunta ¿Hay otra forma mas segura de hacer que una carpeta sea compartida por todos, sin poner en peligro al conjunto? Gracias por cualquier consejo

The #Geany developers are looking for a new maintainer for the Windows builds of Geany.

The Windows builds of Geany were created previously on a Windows 7 VM which is not supported any longer.
We are looking for a new maintainer who likes to take care of the Windows builds, knows MSYS2 and has access to a Windows system with a recent version to be able to build and test Geany on Windows.

For more details and comments, see github.com/geany/geany/issues/.

GitHubWanted: New maintainer for Windows builds of Geany · Issue #4189 · geany/geanyBy eht16

I have had something against using IDEs forever personally, because I just like the satisfaction of being able to program anywhere, with any text editor, and knowing/typing all the correct syntax by hand.

I still love working with just a text editor and writing everything manually, but I do have to admit that I like #geany.

I don't even use any of its features except having a little terminal in a window at the bottom of the frame to insta-test my code, but it's nice.

On top of my learning #rust I have started learning #python. My personal windows machine was updated and I am now playing with it. My #linux box has #python3 installed so no changes there. Work is looking at AI and they mentioned that it will use #python and I figured I am overdue to learn it so that at least one person on the support team is familiar with #python. Downside is that my work machine doesn't have #phython so anything I cannot make and test changes.

I did a minor tweak to my #geany setup so that when I edit #phython code I can launch it there.

I just noticed that my favorite #IDE @GeanyIDE was released in Version v2.0.0 four days (EDIT: and a year, LOL 🤣 ) ago ! 🥳

Now I am curious whats all new. The last version was v1.3.6 from September 2019 (!) and the project exists since 2005. So it looks like a big deal 🤩

Edit: I am late to the party, Release is from 2023 :D But still - yay!

@ja_nube alguna vey lo use hara unos 10 años atras y la verdad es que me frustro, por la cantidad de errores e incompatibilidades que presentaba con muchas apps.

Alguna vez se hablo de que las comunidades de Gnome y KDE trabajarian para hacer que la integracion de Apps fuera mayor y menos conflictiva. Y desde entonces he visto muy pocos avances.

Tengo la sospecha que se podria mejorar mucho mas cada escritorio, dejando un core mas pequeño, sin tantas dependencias y que fuera el usuario quien pudiera decidir que apps añadir... ojala en formato #AppImage

O sea, poder instalar lo mas basico de #Budgie, y despues añadirle #MullvadBrowser, #LibreOffice, #Session, #Gajim, #Geany, #Krita, #Okular, #Tilix, #KeepassXC, #Nemo e #I2P

Pero no, si quieres Budgie, tienes que soportar que se instale un mogollon de cosas, que (casi) nunca usaras.

(Otra cosa a añadir, seria que los paquetes de sistema, que tienen que ver con el funcionamiento de X y del escritorio, deberian quedar marcados como imposibles de remover)

@ebassi I don't know if the "process is not responding" dialog works the same on all #Linux distributions, but on #Ubuntu it just appears too often (many applications and situations) and too frequently (click on ok and 1 second later it pops up again). Do you know if one can set the sensitivity much lower or if one can disable it at all?

P.S. I see the dialog very often with #Thunderbird #LibreOffice #Firefox #Chromium #RStudio #Stata #Gnome preferences #Geany #PDFStudio

TIL I learned the venerable #Geany editor is making steps forward to add #LSP support!

This is indeed pretty cool, because Geany is extremely light, efficient and truly multi-platform!

If I could work on my XML on Geany rather than VSCode/Codium it would be fantastic: no more electron and 100% it would not break on #FreeBSD or other any #BSD and #Linux!

Good job Geany Team! 👏

Useful things in #Linux lately: apt-clone, #emacs & #elisp, #rakulang, #smallbasic (github version), silver searcher (ag), htop, pal calendar, #gimp, #kolourpaint, #vlc, #doublecommander, #gambas3, #geany, and distros like #manjaro, #pclos, #almalinux, #kubuntu, and #q4os
Pictured: An old photo of my #UbuntuStudio desktop from 2009, watching "The Cat From Outer Space".
The same system ran WinXP and Win 7 inside of VMs, allowing use of Adobe software and other Windows apps.
At the time I had been using Linux full-time at my business for about 4-5 years.
Soon I would take a Linux netbook with me for working abroad (running Ubuntu's netbook distro), along with a Nokia n810 as media station. The years 2009-2012 were, in my work, the second big wave of Linux on the Desktop. It was extremely fun and I'm still trying to recapture some of the enjoyment of those days, which faded a bit with the rise of the cloud.
